What is family planning?

Family planning refers to the practice of controlling the number of children in a family and the intervals between their births. It involves the use of contraception methods and other techniques to help individuals and couples make informed decisions about when to have children and how many children to have. Family planning can help individuals and families achieve their desired family size, improve maternal and child health, and promote economic stability.

Family planning is the process of making decisions about the number and timing of pregnancies. It involves understanding the reproductive system, contraception, and the health and well-being of the pregnant person and child. It also encompasses the use of contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies, as well as the provision of other reproductive health services such as infertility treatment.
